You decided to say that me calling you scum 4 times was a "hard" push? What exactly constitutes as a "soft" push then?

you know, no one answered my question about my replacement - the answer is that he is currently in 2 continuous games, really boggles the mind why he might have a reason to replace out other than "well one time he said that he didn't like being scum....so he replaced out because he didn't want to be scum in this playerlist!!!!!!"In post 148, Dannflor wrote:His reaction to the two of us voting him is the most egregious post I think.

in fact, i quite literally said the opposite, i don't even know how you get that interpretation unless you think that me saying "i don't know how to backdown with poise" is me saying i'm too good as scum
dannflor is accusing me of figuring out the game on page 5 and thinking, as scum, that i thought that i could fool the entire town into believing that i had done it with flawless logic and mastery. if anything, it's showing the opposite that his implication is so illogical and improbable that i can then say the opposite is also true. if that's "chestnuting" then go ahead, i don't want to deal with brain dead townies for the rest of the game- Hiraki

he's literally saying that i thought i, as scum, could pull of a lynch on page 5 based off of a page 2 reads post that excludes 90% of the playerlist - why on earth would i take that argument seriously? it's probably one of the worst things i've read on this site lol. who in their right minds thinks that post is damning? because i called melanque scum 4 times based off of it? really? page 5? scum 4 times without providing any reasoning? hard push? no one else wants to call it like it is?In post 148, Dannflor wrote:Right now, I think he's reached a point where he initially latched on to something to scum read, realized it wasn't as damning as he initially thought it was, but now doesn't know how to back down from that without looking more scummy. It's possible that comes from awkward/stubborn town, particularly one that has a philosophy of not interacting with scum reads?? But with #98 I rather doubt it.
i will gladly be the D1 lynch if this is the type of logic i'm gonna be encountering in this game after our first little kerfuffle into mod intervention. thought i was in an open, not a newbie- Hiraki

i mean i guess? you're acting like someone actually thinking that they can nail someone on page 5 as scum is even considered a little competent? so i guess i'm being a little "chestnutty" by saying that i'm not dumb enough to do that and i'm not a newbie? like i guess? is this really the argument i'm about to have?- Hiraki

keep your votes on me, feel free to read the wiki on what a reaction test is when you get a second.
glad to know that the standard response to "your list sucks and is a bad joke" is to make up a backwards ass theory about someone replacing out and then vote the person for a hard push of that person calling you scum four times but having literally nothing behind it and even stating that there could be nothing behind that read- Hiraki

Of course, a townie can get mad for getting scum read for shit reasons too, but they usually try to sort the people scum reading them as well. The aggression feels like a mask for your alignment.

Have you ever felt that someone was pushing hard on you after saying you were scum four times without ever showing any proof on Page 5 of the game? Also there is legitimately nothing that would make you scum and you've even said this in the thread but theIn post 244, Testarossa wrote:Is it just the semantics argument about it painting as a "hard push"?hardpush was sohardthat it was scummy.
There is no semantics issue here. It's an overreaction to nothing. It's scum paranoia.- Hiraki

no - you are not missing anything and the fact that you think calling him scum 4 times is "baiting" him into a scumreading me for doing so is just why i don't think it's worth talking to you anymore.
please read the entire post if you want to understand the two people and how they come into play. i just did it and i got annoyed because i was being babyish. i'm not explaining it. your hint is that it's clearly melanque and me and i don't know how i have to explain more than that- Hiraki

i would say that calling people town with no posts reeks more of laziness than scum but i also understand your agenda a little more now to get where you're coming from- Hiraki

site meta is essentially how the site views certain plays or whatever, things such as "Eliminate all lurkers" and such.
he's saying that because we're old, we're outdated and people have developed new scumtells that might've incriminated people in an "older" playstyle. that is site meta. unless i am assuming incorrectly you used my name rather than melanque'sIn post 394, Menalque wrote:I *do* think you’re playing to an outdated site meta which is leading you to bad reads, and it’s not the same thing.

i actually don't have many reads this game which is as annoying as it is to me as it is to youIn post 599, Gamma Emerald wrote:As for Hiraki, yes I have meta on him that I’m using, mainly to understand his personality and how he plays. While I would like him to give more reads on the other players, that doesn’t detract from how towny his approach to certain interactions has been, at least not enough to make me doubt my read. Also he at least has indicated what amounts to a dramonic townread, via disagreeing with me voting there.
im confused what you see differently thenIn post 612, Gamma Emerald wrote:That WAS the right response (minus the name), I just didn’t remember which post it was and thought was from when teacher said Menalque had a “detailed meta case” on Hiraki and I was counter pointing that- Hiraki

FYI this is adamantly false because if Menalque had taken a second, he would know that I've "returned" to the site since March and my last hiatus was in late 2018. I haven't taken a 5 year trip around the world or anything.In post 692, Menalque wrote:I know it’s a factor (I can pull posts if you like) that players returning to the site often struggle to perform as they once did because the meta *has* changed. That’s a fact, not my opinion. You can find multiple people talking about how it’s changed and to an extent in what ways if you look at what people who have been around through the transition say.- Hiraki
